Perkins diesel

I'm looking at a used Sullair 185 with a Perkins engine and I don't know squat about them. It's a 2006 with low hours and the price seems fair, so I'm going to check it out this week. Anyone have any experience with those engines?

I bought a used 2006 sullair 185 with the perkins diesel from a united rental branch. Had a diesel mechanic service it after I bought it and then put it to use. No problems or complaints yet, ran great all season last year. It's pretty fuel efficient too.

Right now I'm choosing between the Perkins and one with a Deere. Both are about the same price and have been maintained by a mechanic.

I would think that the Perkins (2006) would have parts available, but what do I know? The good thing about the 2005(Deere I think) is that there is a Deere repair center nearby, and if it's a CAT then there's one of those to.
